Cow Champion

In May 1931 C. E. Wylie, head of the Dairy Department, announced that UT North Star Segis Lady 957651 had been named national champion by the Holstein Friesian Association, winning over 98 other cows. In a 10-month test, Class B 305 Day Division, UT’s cow produced 21,462 pounds of milk and 766.6 pounds of fat (the equivalent of 945.8 pounds of butter). The cow was bred and developed by UT and handled by S. A. Hinton, who was in charge of the dairy herd at UT.
